Just a small forum post to let everyone know that the second public beta of TX16Wx 2.0 has been released on the all new website: http://www.tx16wx.com

Version 2 adds a completely new resizable GUI with full undo/redo and context sensitive help. It has a built-in file browser and uses drag and drop editing of content. Also added are new modulators and destinations, as well as improved sample editing and beat slicing.

I like how you subscribe to Reaper ethos with your discounted licence and upgrades for two major releases policy

I'll be purchasing this I think. Before that, I'd wish if you could provide more configurable multiple outputs (up to 64 plugin outputs, mono/stereo/surround at will), and more automation and controller parameters available per instance (at least 128 automation parameters, comes in handy when having a lot of instruments loaded).

Nice!

The Pro version will add configurable outputs (restricted of course by host capabilities, but...). Surround support might come further on, but is not scheduled in the 2.0 time frame, sorry. For those needs I suggest using the host mixer to place individual outputs properly in the mix.
More automation parameters is scheduled for the next beta drop.
Cheers

Congratulations! I foresee this as becoming the sampler that will blow all other low cost (or even free) samplers away!

Goodbye to:

Directwave (good riddance!)
Shortcircuit
DS-404
Paax
Highlife
etc...

Also, with it's awesome serial-only protection, fair low price, 32bit/64bit capability, completely open sampling format, capability to import SF2 and SFZ formats, AND the ability to ACTUALLY SAMPLE (unlike most "sample players"), every other budget (or Free) sampler is going to be in major trouble!!

it says "TX16Wx Software Sampler 2.0.0 b12 Setup (Win32).msi"I've downloaded twice now just to make sure

I'm sorry, but at least from here (using various browsers) it downloads fine, and correct versions. "TX16Wx Software Sampler 2.0.0 b12 Setup (Win32).msi" is the correct (for Win32) file name. And from here at least the content looks right (there is no 1.0.7 download from the website at all so...)

Lets stay a bit calmer hehe
It has a bunch of missing features and the GUI is rather clunky at the moment..
2012 leaving slicing to an algo and not being able to move markers in to place by hand is a no no
Root key not being next to range keys but on a completely different page of the UI again a no no
No mention of round robin (Maybe in the etc...)
No mention of direct from disk

So far it is very much like short circuit 2 (Not really a step up from short circuit 1 but a blingier UI)

I know a whole lot of content suppliers that have been waiting for v2, but the features they wanted have been lost somewhere, so lets calm down a little and let the dev catch up with what he needs to do to make this a viable commercial product (Right now it isn't but that is the point of betas anyway )

Perhaps you should try the instrument a little more, or perhaps read the help or manual before making these statements. You can edit slices manually as much as you like. You can also pin slices to preserve specific slices (note that this currently only preserves slice start though - perhaps a flaw)

adevg wrote:Root key not being next to range keys but on a completely different page of the UI again a no no

Root keys are accessible from either the key mapper (keyboard), group list (below) or directly in the sample (sample editor). I.e pretty much from whereever you happen to be editing.

Round robin will be a subset of the advanced trigger definitions of TX16Wx Pro.
I have repeatedly made clear that I don't particularly approve of direct-from-disk. This is not a player instrument, esp. not a direct from disk player.

7.5.1.2 Beat Slicer Uses transient detection to slice waveform data into parts based on rhythmic content - also known as loop slicing. This is typically used to cut a drum loop into parts of a single hit, which can then be mapped to keys and replayed through MIDI.  Threshold - sets the beat detection threshold, determining how prominent a transient must be to warrant slicing  Cutoff - sets the cutoff frequency for transient detection, limiting the analysis to frequencies below this value.  Slice button - activates slicer o Once activated, you can adjust the threshold and cutoff parameters to tune the slicing until you get the desired result. o Turn of the slice button to finalize the result

No mention of manually moving slice start end points and i haven't been able to do so yet either, so please explain ?
